President Armen Sarkissian congratulated President of Germany on the occasion of Unity Day

President Armen Sarkissian sent a congratulatory message to the President of the Federal Republic of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier on the occasion of national holiday – Unity Day.

President Sarkissian stressed the importance of developing and deepening cooperation between Armenia and Germany in different areas for the benefit of the two peoples. He noted with satisfaction that in recent years the Armenian-German cooperation is developing dynamically in bilateral and multilateral formats.

“As you are aware, in the early morning of September 27, Azerbaijan unleashed a large-scale attack on the Republic of Artsakh, targeting also the civilian population. Azerbaijan has been trying for decades to solve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict through military force, violating all international and ethical norms, refusing to sit down around the table of negotiations to find a key to a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Artsakh and Armenia are withstanding together this adventurist and destructive policy of the Azerbaijani leadership which is backed by Turkey. I am confident that at this difficult for Armenia and Artsakh time, Germany is with us,” the message of the President of Armenia reads in particular.

President Armen Sarkissian wished Frank-Walter Steinmeier good health and success as well as peace and prosperity to the friendly people of Germany.
